The reason for the backlog is the US is trying to get a diverse set of immigrants to the US. Any one country can’t get more than 5% of permanent visas in a given year.

If it wasn’t for that, 80% of people getting green cards would be Indian and Chinese.

That's a pretty ridiculous policy when China and India are a third of the world's population.
